Bibliography

This is an initial fledgling bibliography of work by and about Banville which is not yet comprehensive. Given the continued critical fascination with Banville’s work and the depth of engagement it has already generated the bibliography will inevitably be a continuous work-in progress, to which we invite all who are interested in Banville to contribute. Information about translations of Banville’s work and critical engagement in languages other than English are welcome. You can send additions, updates, and suggestions to the following email address: efaciscoord@gmail.com

We hope to make this an important resource for all scholars and students of Banville and we welcome all contributions.
